Loeul & Piriot

The market leader of rabbit and kid meat

LOEUL & PIRIOT- the rabbit and kid meat specialist for decades.

LOEUL & PIRIOT is historically the “go to” specialist for rabbit and kid meat. A family business set up in 1906, our group is today the European leader in kid and rabbit meat processing. We have three production sites with 470 employees.

We have always had the trade knowledge to develop and improve our production methods. The MALICIEUX brand, launched in 1970 was our very first self serve rabbit product in the major supermarkets. We were also the first company to offer la gigolette as a cut, and to develop our ready to cook range quickly, with cuts like roasts and rabbit fillet skewers for the BBQ…Milk fed kid meat has over the years also become a recognised product, thanks to our production methods and trade inside knowledge that we have developed by years of experience in meat preparation methods .

Quality assurance:

We guarantee the provenance of our meat as being of Lapin de France origin, as well as being fed food that is GM free (less than 0.9%) and is 100 % vegetable and cereal based.

For our kid meat business, we have actively taken part in the refinement of the product specifications for the Chevreau de France range and have exclusively marketed milk fed goat.
